Can I ask you to clarify your licensing intentions for these examples? By default all on RosettaCode is GNU Free Documentation License, which does not really play in a friendly way with ... just about any actual software license.

I imagine that all these examples were posted with the intention that they be used by others, but the default RosettaCode situation makes that impossible without direct permission. So ... I'm asking. :-)


An example of what the situation is using GNU FDL - last time I checked material under the GNU FDL could not be put into GPL code and GPL code could not be put into a GNU FDL manual. So watch out! :-)
